The Dalai Lama speaks about science and Buddhism

Mark A. R. Kleiman offers a fascinating statement from his Holiness the Dalai Lama regarding how Buddhism reacts to the discoveries of science. This is the key paragraph:

If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview.

The Catholic Church, of course, takes the same attitude - after two to three hundred years, with much backsliding as the current Pope is demonstrating.
